An awesome benefit to enjoying the water, anywhere in the world, is that you don’t need to own anything. You can simply bring yourself and you’re set to enjoy boundless activities while making new memories.
Most bodies of water have rental shops nearby where you can rent the necessary resources needed to enjoy whatever activity you’d like to explore.
Water activities at the Berkeley Marina
Thanks in part to the favorable 70-degree average Berkeley weather temperature year long, there are a number of activities you can do alone or with a group of people.
Central California’s Paddling and Wine Tasting Tour
Nothing says ‘let’s explore’ like exploring the water by kayak or paddleboard – and hey, why not throw your dog in the mix while you’re at it? That’s exactly what this wine tasting tour is all about.
Start your day exploring the Lodi Lake water with your fur friend and end at one of the two, Lodi’s best dog wineries in town. The trail will take you paddling through Mokelumne River alongside vineyards and private estates. Relaxation at its finest!
Bay Voyager
Located at Pier 39 in San Francisco, this is a fun activity you can do to get away from Berkeley and explore San Francisco nearby. The tour includes exploring historic ships, mooring sites, gold ships, and estuaries. You’ll even enjoy a nice cruise around the San Francisco bay seeing the Bay Bridge, AT&T Park, cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz.
Sail Freedom
Freedom is a refurbished 50-foot sailboat you can enjoy renting for the day and taking around the area to sight see. There’s no need to have your sailing license or be a captain as this ride comes with a personalized one for you. Jump aboard and take a seat – Freedom is only a boat away!
